Um, context? Subject?

Ooh, I love it when you quote made up stuff!

No. I am not attacking you. Do please point out where I am attacking you and try to refrain from making up quotes or claiming I 'implied' it.

Implies, eh?

Except, and pay attention here, Kaltia didn't call me on inappropriate behaviour, unless, of course, she was 'implying' it. Her post, in its entirety, said "Why? Haven't you read the goddamn books, you rude jackass?" One might be forgiven for taking that little statement as a fine example of "insulting someone."

Indeed. Well done.

Silly me. And I thought that making a typo 'implied' that it was an error that I hadn't picked up on at the time of sending! Rest assured that from now on when making any errors in my posts I will indicate where I have done so rather than fix the problem before sending.

>There's no

Except, of course, in the post you're replying to. Deary me, try to keep up would you? You remember where I 'implied' that you don't read the forum? This would seem to be a prime example.

>"Whoops, I put the wrong word in and

Have I mentioned how I love it when you quote things you pull out of your ass wholesale? How about how adorable it is when you put words in people's mouths? No, really, it's very clever.

Trivial, sweetums, is in the eye of the beholder. It's a judgement call. I have seen you flame other posters to kingdom come for reasons I consider trivial. Difference being, I'm not hypocitical enough to demand someone stop behaviour I am not immune to myself.

Oh do try to pay attention, especially if you're claiming that you do indeed read what goes on here. I attacked <i>one</i> poster. The one poster who deserved it. Every other post I have made under this handle has been a reply. Deary, deary me.

>>Who's shooting? Goodness. Please try to stay on point.

How silly of me. Great analogy there. Calling someone on posting spoilers in a subject line is like <i>shooting them.</i> Of course it is. And putting it in quotation marks makes it even <i>more</i> true!

There's that selective reading again. Naturally, I'm the one here making the personal attacks. Yessir. And repeating it will just make it a fact, right?

>You

What misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. Someone posted a spoiler in a subject line. I went ballistic. Where's the misunderstanding? I mean, sure, if I picked a new handle and randomly started abusing people out of the blue then you'd have a point. But I haven't. So you don't.

Whatever gets you though the night.

Ah, yes. I was wondering when we'd get to that. I'm a howwible, howwible twoll. Boogetty-boogetty-boogie. Except that I'm not. But don't let that stop you!
